Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Small bubbly white head that mostly diminished. Spare lacework. Light cloudy golden color. Nice Gueuze aroma with horse blanket, earth, sour yeast, light fruit, citrus and milky sourness. Medium bodied with light dry texture and an average carbonation. Moderated sour flavour with light sweetness. Light dry and sour finish.

Hazy pale caramel coloured gueuze that has no head at all. Quite sharp and tart, lemony nose with strong hay nuances and interesting honey hints. In mouth, I was surprised to notice as much acetic acidity than lactic. These vinegary wanderings felt a bit out of context. Comfortable tartness level, but rather weak carbonation, initially biting, but quickly dulling out to flatness. I certainly can’t call it bad, it is more than honest, but I was under the impression that it was gonna be neat and better integrated beyong the fact that it is indeed tart and quite authentic.

(on bottle) Sour, caramel nose, light amber, no head. Fresh acidic, very stingy the the palate, in a nice way. Flattens nicely out, into a constant dry, grape-like feel. The yeasts gets last word in the finish; I liked this.

A lambic with farmhouse gueze flavors. Highly carbonated, refreshing, and easy to drink but thin and lacking substance.

Cloudy white-yellow in colour, lingering medium sized off-white coloured head, some lacing. The aroma is acidic and slightly sour, wheaty, lemon citrus. The flavour has lambic qualities - something new for Chapeau - sour, acidic, leather and cheese. Acidic mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes lightly sweet turning sour. A drinkable Chapeau lambic. Actually quite impressive, nice tartness throughout.

Bottle. Pours a hazy white-yellow body with a soft white head. Barnyard and lemon juice aroma - certainly induces a few tears. The flavour is quite tart and grapefruity with a refreshing oaky wheat base. Faint pear sweetness left in the finish. Thanks to rudolf for hauling this back for me via diabel!
